Royal Navy. Rates of Pay 1930's
« on: Friday 21 June 19 16:34 BST (UK) »
Hi Guys,
Just got my Grandads, Royal Navy Service History. In 1935 he was promoted from Senior Master to Headmaster Lieutenant. The rate of pay column shows '24/4'. Is this £/s or s/d, and is this a daily, weekly or monthly amount?
Many thanks,  Dave.

These (courtesy of naval historynet) are WW2 rates of pay.  Pay was expressed in daily rates and was £1 5s 4d (25/4) so small increase on his rate.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

You might find www.measuringworth.com interesting if you are after a 'feel' for what that equates to nowadays.  As ever, though, it is not quite as simple as one might think.
